I woke up at 6:45 a.m. Not unusual for me, just unusual for
post-radiation Juliet. It almost felt like Christmas morning, or sneaking out
of bed when I was little to see if it had snowed during the night (maybe that
wouldn’t be such a far stretch in Phoenix after yesterday though!). I opened my
door…and…stepped back into freedom! Chariots of fire might have been playing on
my mental soundtrack. There was no crazy fanfare; my roommate Jessica did hug
me though (first human contact in days, yippee!). Thank you Jessica for being
brave enough to touch the previously radioactive J. To celebrate my roommate Holly took me to dinner. My inner self was afraid I’d
behave like a cave woman, fortunately my rules of civility, mostly, returned,
ha.
I’m still feeling weak and a little nauseous, but I’m feeling less weak as
each day passes, for which I’m very grateful. It’s strange how one can take
such common liberties and freedoms for granted, but I have a profound new
gratitude for a lot of things that might seem tiny to other people. Things such
as driving in my car with the windows down, not having to use all plastic
utensils for fear of someone else being exposed to radiation, getting to take
the garbage outside, and even the feeling of rain. Suddenly the “mundane”,
doesn’t seem so mundane anymore. I think I’ll go clean my house. Well, maybe…

Hello my sweet friend! Thanks for letting me know about your blog and for sharing your story. You always inspire me! It's good to know what is happening and how things are going for you. I've been thinking about you often this year as I have watched some of your former second grade students grow up even more in a fifth grade intern's class this year. That Payton Murphy is still adorable and sweet! Glad you are now out of quarantine and on the road to a little more normalcy. Take good care and remember how much you are loved! :-)
New glasses? Love them!
Right here is the right site for anybody who wishes to find out about this
topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you
(not that I really would want to…HaHa).
You certainly put a fresh spin on a subject which
has been written about for a long time. Excellent stuff, just wonderful!

Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm
planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking
for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being
off-topic but I had to ask!
Here is my web-site; what is binary options
http://www.petinsuranceuks.co.uk/liability-insurance.html This coverage is included in all Petplan policies. The least expensive policy offered by 24PetWatch dog insurance is called QuickCare for Dogs. If your loved one has something wrong with them a trip to the veterinarian can get very expensive.
